Craig Thomas, development officer for the Cheshire County Golf Partnership, said: “A new year offers the chance to discover a new you! Golf is such a good game for increasing your amount of regular exercise while also making new friends.”

Get into golf is a national campaign to inspire adults to take up the game and is run by the England Golf Partnership through its network of County Golf Partnerships, supported by Sport England and National Lottery funding.
